My sister has a bum elbow and can't draw a regular bow. She only has 50% movement in one of her arms. So she is decideing to take up the cross bow. We have no dealers around here so it is going to be a cabelas purchase. She is 5'5" and about 140 lbs. She is going to need something that is easy to **** and shoot. I am sure she is going to want a scope. There is about a $1000 cap on the purchase. Any insight is appreciated.

Tell her to call David at Wyvern Creations: 603-659-0575. He will give her the best information and unbiased facts to help her make the correct decision I guarentee you it will be well worth the phone call David is a terrific person and has helped more people getting into crossbows than anybody.

X2 Thats the best advice you can get he is the best!

Try the Parker Tornado its a great feeling bow and the package is about 699. Buckeyefootball

At least were off the Barnett band wagon for a change!

Thanks guys she talked to Dave today and bought a ten point from him. Thanks for the insight. She thanks you all also.

No band wagon . Thats whats being missed I guess to my fault on explanation. Price point to performance is not brand to performance. The money limit given dictates the best here is a Parker and more specifically a Tornado. If my original price point would have been a 150 more that would have been my purchase. I was not sure when I switched to crossbows I would like them so I choose a price point I could get the performance I wanted to try the horizontal side of archery. Buckeyefootball

Good luck to your sister with her TenPoint. They make great bows and have several to choose from with a variety of prices. Am wondering which one did she get? Am sure Dave at Wyvern also gave her good advice.

You can count on it,he is da MAN!

He has some good deals on arrows also. Buckeyefootball
